I unfortunately do not own any parts of Smallville.

Dear Diary,
I am invisible. Invisible in 2 ways often, though few know or would admit it. Oh, how impolite, let me introduce my self. My name is Alexandra Jade Alicia Isabelle Lang Danes. As all my friends know my name totally fits me and tells quite a story of my history and possibly my future. Anyway, seeing as the name is entirely long, very few times does anybody call me by my FULL name. I have many nicknames. Such as Alexa, Alli, Alli-Jade, Jewels, Lexi, Athena, and last but not least "Princess". It all depends on who is calling me.
I live in Smallville, Kansas and have lived here all my life. I should probably inform you that my parents are loaded. They are non-other than "The Danes", the richest empire, rivaling the Luthors, that is. But I am not as you say, part of their breed. My real mother was gone before I was more than 2-3 days old. From that point on my father, James Lang, was my "everything". He was my main source of knowledge and love. He was above all the one person I idolized the most. My life was perfect, but as many of you know life is far from fair. My seemingly perfect life was literally blown away the day of the great Smallville Meteor Shower. At the age of about three, my father was hit and killed instantly by a meteor. That day my life changed forever. Since then I have been a Danes.
So you can fully understand, here's more background information on the things and people in my life.
My "Family"
The Danes (aka the Superiors)
The Danes adopted me a couple of months after my father's death. I have never truly felt comfortable calling them Mom and Dad. They leave so often that I usually get stuck with a nanny. Though because of my horrible habit of being, well me, I have gone through over 80 nannies since they adopted me. Seeing as that is so they practically let me live alone. I have a driver and car that live down the road, but nobody other than me really lives in my house. It is extremely cool. They allow me almost anything because I am to take over what is commonly known as "The Dane Dynasty". I have been involved and running a great deal of the business since I was about 8 or 9 years old. They have been less parents and more bosses, that's why my friends and I refer to them as "The Superiors". I found that it makes up for a lot of it, that they let me live in my old house, in Smallville. This is one of the few things, without an alterative motive, that they have done since I've known them. They can't take all the credit. Living alone seems well lonely, but for me it's not, for down the road lives people I can always count on.
The Kents
Martha and Jonathan Kent
These two are the kindest, most generous people you will ever meet. Rumors have it they were practically my dad's best friends. This all makes sense too because I have known them since I could remember. I have no way to prove it (yet!) but I strongly believe they had an influence on me being able to stay were I lived. I am beyond thankful because I am yet to find a place that is like Smallville. It calms me.
Martha is the greatest cook I know. She is always baking and cheering me up when I need it most. In Smallville, her Apple Pies are legendary. Often she does the whole girl talk thing with me. She is so kind, sweet and incredibly clever. I know few who can match her wit and sense of humor.
Jonathan Kent works the land as his fathers did before him. He has a warm heart and great sense of loyalty. You can always count on him to cheer you up also. He is also stubborn and terribly stuck in his ways sometimes, but above all he is an amazing guy.
These two have always made me feel like part of their family. For that I cannot be thankful enough. I learned so much from them about life. And for these reasons I love them more than you can imagine. There is only one person that I care more about than them.
Clark Kent
I truly believe he is my guardian angel. The Kents adopted him about the time the meteor shower hit. He and I met about a two weeks after the disaster and since then we have had this weird link. He is by far my best friend in the entire world. As time goes on, we have found that we have so much more in common then we knew. This natural connection, no matter what, never fails. I mean he knows me better than I even know myself. And he always knows what to do when I'm upset. Even when we fight, we end up back to norm within a week or so. Since we were tiny, we would run off and play in the cornfields. We would spend hours just sitting in a field and talking. And so many times when I've gotten hurt he has been there for me. With Clark, when you need him he is always there. He has saved my life so many times and usually stands up for me. Clark and I will never end our friendship, no matter what may come along. He will always be my Farmboy. Farmboy? Oh, that's my nickname for him. By the way he made the "princess" nickname of mine after a few too many Disney movies and the fact that my "parents" are filthy rich so I get practically anything I want as far as material things. Well at least we are even. Also, he is different. He has abilities that most people don't have but he is yet to know entirely why. For one, he can run at almost the speed of light. This made it extremely fun to play tag when we were younger. The Kents have trusted me with the knowledge of this, because they know I would never tell. It has helped both of us, and is probably the reason we are so close and our friendship is so strong. We know we can confide in each other and trust is never an issue. Hopefully that doesn't change. Ok fine the truth, nobody knows this but … I am in love with him. Complications:
1.He is my best friend and tell him could ruin our friendship
2.He is in love with my Cousin
3.I don't want to lose him
The Kent Farm
I love this place. Every good thing has happened here. It is my real home and the barn is always the best place in the world for me.
Lana Lang
My cousin, YAY! (Cough, cough) Lana's father and mine were brothers. See, as we are both only children, I have always been taught to treat her as if a she was my sister. Her parents died along with mine on that fateful day. She instead of being thrown into an orphanage was kept with her aunt Nell. Though she is a couple of months older than I am, she has always been my responsibility. She is the generic American Sweetheart type. Being a cheerleader and seemingly perfect allows her to capture the attention of all. The biggest example is Clark. He is obsessed with her. She can do nothing wrong of course, therefore anything that happens I get blamed for. All with this responsibility, I also get the "privilege" of being in her shadow most of the time. She is of course the hottest, most popular girl in school and I get to be her shadow. (You can sort of see why I hate her.) She will always be there though.
Nell Potter
Speak of the Devil! Nell is the most judgmental, twofaced, person you will ever meet. She has always had a grudge against me and does not let go of things easily. She has always disagreed with the way I am and believes I am a bad influence on Lana because I am different, independent and think for myself. Of course the precious girl has no idea of this along with everyone else because we both hide it so well. When she becomes really angry with me she uses her best ammo. This lady is far from stupid. She uses the fact that my parents were not even engaged when I was born. She tells me that I was just a "mistake" made long ago. And if that is not enough she will also go on and on about it how it was my fault that my father died and that the meteors hit that day. I know that these things are almost impossible, yet being told these "facts" since you were about four or five can seriously take a great toll on you. I hate this woman with everything within me but you would never be able to tell.
My Friends
Pete Ross
Pete is a typical guy. His need to prove this fact is what has always made him so naturally funny. I have known him since about kindergarten. He is one of Clark's best friends. Football and dating are his sports. He calls himself the Master because of his "numerous" amount of dates. He is seen as a "Player" by many (or so he thinks) but to his friends he is just crazy, funny Pete. And of course I get to be his decoy when we are out. He uses me to get girls but is beyond fun to act as his date because I have known him so long I can embarrass him with out him even noticing.
Chloe Sullivan
My best friend that is a girl (though lately she has been tying with Clark). Chloe is the smartest cleverest blonde in the world. She moved to Smallville in about eighth grade with her father from the big city. Clark was chosen as her school guide when she came therefore, of course, I met her. We have been friends ever since. Even though I still think I hold a secret grudge against her because he gave Clark his first "real" kiss. Taking notice of every little thing is her forte. She is going to be a journalists and reporter. Right now her title is Editor of The Torch (our school newspaper). She is beyond amazing and interested in "Weird". Everything weird that has happened in Smallville (and that is a lot) she believes is all tied to the meteor shower. She has this wall of weird.
Wall of Weird
Chloe's greatest creation. It contains clippings from newspapers of articles of weird occurrences in Smallville since the meteor shower. It is quite full. Few people support her idea but I fully believe it. Everyone else believes LuthorCorp pollution is to blame for these strange events.
My Other World
Alexander "Lex" Luthor
Son of Major tycoon and my business competitor Lionel Luthor. One of my good friends. Known him since I have been a "Danes". The Danes and Luthors are long time business competitors. Some may see him as a rich boy snob but he is far worse than that. (Just kidding) He is 6 years my senior but I have always been smarter. (Haha!!) Okay, let's get serious. Lex's mother died when he was about 13 years old. Since that moment his life was entirely different. He went from boarding school to boarding school. He takes care of me in many ways I don't even notice. This whole place-to-place thing has made it so hard for us to keep up our brother-sistery relationship. We have really had some serious lost years. But hopefully that will change soon. I miss him a lot.
Lionel Luthor
Hated by most because of harsh and sometimes cruel business tactics. Though I believe more is behind his actions and "personality" that not many know.
In Memorial
Lillian Luthor
Died when I was about 7 from a horrible illness. Wife to Lionel, Mother to Lex, and had a heart of gold. Most amazing person in the world. She was like a Greek goddess. She was the first in the new society to talk to me after my adoption. She welcomed me into her family and was like the mother I never had. Out of respect for her Lex and Lionel keep me around. Before her death, she gave me a 20KT gold locket with my birthstone set in it and my name engraved. She gave it to me and told me to always remember that I am never alone and that no matter what the Luthors will always be my family. It is the most precious thing I own. And to this day I idolize and miss her dearly.
James (Jim, Jimmy) Lang
My father. Died in Smallville meteor shower with my aunt and uncle (Lana's parents), when I was about 3. He was my hero. He always supported me and let me learn from my own mistakes. He was one of the very few that understood how my mind worked. Was captain of Smallville High football team in his day. Heavily into football. Most popular guy in school and later on in town. Gave me my love of football and taught me how to play. One of the greatest people I have ever known.
Last but Not Least
X3 ME X3
Name: Alexandra Jade Alicia Isabelle Lang Danes
Aka: Alli, Alli-jade, Alexa, Lexi, Jewels, Athena, Princess
Age: 15
My friends call me dual-personality, but let's face it. I'm two-faced. I have had been for a long time. I live in two worlds. First, the world of the heirs, heiresses, and society. If you are or act weak in this world it is hard to make it. In that world I am a total bitch. I am ruthless and yet incredibly kind at the same time. I am so mature and incredibly bad. I rule the set no matter what. To my peers within the set I am the worst as far as breaking the rules and doing what I shouldn't. To the adults I am extremely clever and beyond my years. They become so amazed at my maturity that it helps me to score business deals easier. Then, there is my small town, Smallville world. The world in which the Kents, Chloe, Lana, and Pete all play a part. In this world I am always second to Lana and often invisible but always there. I am like an angel, sweet and innocent. Never failing to be where I am needed. I'm there for my friends before they even know they need me. This small town would though very hard is my favorite of the two. My friends mean the world to me. They are the reason I live and I know however shaky we are they will really be there in the end.
I am very curious and have a need to have an explanation to everything. I always know what is wrong for the most part with my friends because I'll face it I spy a bit. It is all so that they don't get hurt though. The tools that help me know so much about everything are different. First of all, my seemingly superior intelligence is even underestimated with of what amount it is seen. I believe that there is a reason behind everything and not matter how crazy and cloudy the thing is I can always rationalize it. Many would compare my brain to a supercomputer that they could never even dream of building for centuries. For instance, my grades are through the roof and at my age I could be a Junior or Senior this year. This all explains why I am an expert at hacking. I could hack through any system you put in front of me. This helps me in my building of systems that keep all that I hold dear secure. My second tool is much more unusual. I can turn myself invisible at will. I realized this one day when hiding from my nanny at the time.
One of my other very unusual "talents" is that no matter how horrible of an accident I have I recover at a miraculous rate. It is like I can barely get hurt. Though I have been in a few comas over my lifetime I have been in enough fatal accidents that it is crazy at how little people can tell. I have reason to believe this has something to do with the fact that I was in a direct hit of a force from a meteor on the day of the shower. They said it was a miracle that I survived and had so little trauma to me. To this day I wonder why this is but it is the one thing I am yet to rationalize.
The last is not as amazing. It is the reason I have always been able to play with Clark. I am able to move sometimes even faster than him. It is what made playing so fun.
I have been able to hide these gifts for the most part from almost all the people in my life including "The Superiors", but the Kents do know about almost all of these minus the invisibility. The invisibility I am yet to tell anyone about.
I never under any circumstances let my two worlds collide for the difference is so massive. But this is where our story begins, the fateful day in which the two worlds I tried so hard to keep separate literally "crash" together.
